There might be some bug in frob-face-property (or the way customize uses it). The use of it with a non-nil tags probably has never been tested very well..

dump-emacs -> dump-emacs-kill-emacs 26 years

Olivier Galibert

I'd like to delete the consoles and shut_down_emacs() before dumping, if order to dump the console and device lrecords (3 consoles, 1 device) in a sane state[1]. Any fundamental objections ? OG. [1] Actually, I'd rather not dump them at all, but heh.

struct lrecord_header size 26 years

Olivier Galibert

Fow now, on linux x86 at least (which probably means on all compiles with gcc on 32bits computers I'm afraid), the struct lrecord_header size is 8 bytes. struct lrecord_header { /* index into lrecord_implementations_table[] */ unsigned char type; struct { /* 1 if the object is marked during GC. */ unsigned mark :1; /* 1 if the object resides in read-only space */ unsigned c_readonly : 1; /* 1 if the object is readonly from lisp */ unsigned lisp_readonly : 1; } flags; }; We may want someday to integrate the type into the flags struct to go back to 4 bytes _or_ change the unsigned char to int (which may make the code faster, but probably only when using error checking). OG.

I see no changes to `debug.el' in cvs.xemacs.org... Where should I begin looking, I wonder... I guess just comment off all of my site-start.el and init.el, then restart a bunch of times uncommenting each thing in turn. Not today... But at some point I'll do that; maybe next week.

Oh. Right. > What to do? > Could the functionality of update-elc.sh be moved to lisp sensibly? Yup. It depends on how stable the binary is. When update-elc.sh was first done, XEmacs couldn't handle bytecompiling many, many files without crashing. There aren't lots of files to handle any more and many, many bugs have been fixed. You can do it without any Lisp if you put the right kind .el:.elc rule in the Makefile, as is done with xemacs-packages. -- 窓番号を入力してください

Re: Build failure, xemacs-21.1.2 on rh6-based linux-alpha-unknown 26 years

OK, thus it is likely that the proportion of AIX XEmacs versions that were compiled like this is extremely small. > Well, the *default* xlc flags don't use aliasing.

The argument put forward by the egcs people is "Other compilers have had this optimization for quite some time, so it is likely that code that runs on multiple compilers is safe." Of course that argument only works if this optimization is normally enabled on those compilers. For AIX at least it seems it isn't. Jan
